Solenoid Making Clicking noise

Hey guys, first time to be on this forum. I have two stations that are not coming on and noticed where the control valve boxes are there was a clicking noise. So I dug up the grass and took the covers off and noticed the solenoids were clicking when I had the station on. So I went to Lowe's and got some new valves and checked them after being replaced and the same thing happened. I manually turned on the water to make sure I had water coming to the valves and both worked. Just asking for some advice on how to diagnose this problem. Thanks

Ok, thank you. We are moving into this house this next weekend and just want to get it fixed before we move in. The house is about 12 years old so guessing that's when the system was installed. Its a Hunter controller/timer mounted in the garage. Is this a very good chance that this should fix the problem?

Well you picked the magic number.
Is your controller a Hunter Pro-C with expansion modules?
If it is, move the modules around and see if the problem moves with it. Maybe you can just buy a new module because the controller I'm going to recommend is a Hunter Pro-C expandable. Which you may already have and maybe we can fix it.
They used to make a 9 station but no, they're into making money instead.
